Pre-Draft Power Rankings

[wolverine304]

If packers were #1 just because they won it the year before, I'd disagree with it. But they won it all with half the team hurt, so I understood why they were pre ranked first. They were the champs and getting so many players back.

And I was saying the 15-1 record pretty much backed it up, even though they shit the bed in the playoffs.


I just don't believe the giants are the best team overall. Just was hot at the right time.

Isn't that what we heard when the Packers won it, hot at the right time. Usually works that way.

 

[wolverine304]

And I said. I wouldn't say they were the best team the year they won it.

 

[grandy]

So in your opinion the super bowl champs are automatically the best team the next year?

Barring a team plane crash...yes

 

[wolverine304]

I don't know, just doesn't make sense to me.

Being the hottest team during the playoffs doesn't mean you are the best, just my opinion.

Really has nothing to do with them beating green bay.

 

[grandy]

If that's the case, being the best team doesn't really matter then.

 

[wolverine304]

Not really. All about momentum. Match ups.


Look at march madness, a lot of times the best team doesn't win.

 

[schles192]

On paper they're not the best, but thats why they play the game.

 

[grandy]

And this is why I hate arbitrary ranking systems.

 

[schles192]

Especially before teams have finalized their roster with FA and Draft.

But its the exact same as when GB squeaked in and got hot at the right now and was ranked one the following year. Maybe they had foresight they'd win 15 games the next season. Lol.

In the end, as we all know, the rankings mean jack shit.

 

[wolverine304]

It's not the same. The giants didn't win it with half the team injured all year.

Give me a break, every team has injuries. Try to complain to the NYG that their injuries weren't as important.

 

[wolverine304]

It's common sense that they weren't.

The stat was something like, no team with the amount of injuries has won more than 6 games.


Mavs won the nba title last year and will be be lucky to make the playoffs.

Saying a team is the best because of winning a year ago is retarded.

Didn't know there was a stat on that.

:lmao:

 

[wolverine304]

Don't think I did the research lol, I just remember seeing something similar on espn a couple times

 

[mhughes0021]

my power rankings are alot different than theirs. FOr the record i actually agree with the Packer homer on this lol....no way NYG should be rated higher than GB in a power ranking. Power ranking is basically who the favorite would be if you match them head to head.....no way Vegas has NYG winning against 31 teams if they were to play right now. I have the gmen at 7.

 

[wolverine304]

Thank you!


But I'm not real sure how I'm a homer.

 

[Mitchrapp]

We're all homers. But I think most champs get pre-ranked high the following season. Whether they deserve it or not..

 

[wolverine304]

No we're not.
